50-run partnership between Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma. A good measured stand from the duo to help India get into a decent position in the match.

After 18 overs, India 121/4

First six of the match and it comes from the bat of Richa Ghosh. Finally, in the 16th over, India have got a maximum in this innings. Richa has sent Khaka over the fence and India will now look to keep up the same approach as the innings moves towards its conclusion.

After 16 overs, India 109/4

India have been forced to go into the rebuilding phase again. Richa Ghosh currently in the middle with Deepti Sharma are trying to build a small partnership before they can take on the South African bowlers. A 30-run partnership so far between the two.

After 15 overs, India 97/4

Another one bites the dust. This time it is Jemimah Rodrigues and that means both the set batters will now have to follow the innings from the dugout. Jemimah departs after scoring a 26-ball 30 and India are in deep trouble now.

After 11 overs, India 69/4

Smriti Mandhana out!

Massive blow for India and a big big wicket for South Africa. It is the left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba who has sent back the Indian superstar and India continue to lose wicket. This small partnership has been broken and Mandhana walks back after a scratchy 21 from 22 balls. Richa Ghosh is the new woman in.

After 10 overs, India 63/3

Finally a big over for India. 14 runs coming from the seventh over and both Mandhana and Jemimah getting boundaries. Much needed for India, will relieve a lot of pressure from the women in blue.

Powerplay done and it is South Africa who would feel they have been the dominating in the first six overs. India have already lost their opener Shafali Verma and captain Harmanpreet Kaur. Smriti Mandhana is now at the crease with last match's star Jemimah Rodrigues.

Harmanpreet Kaur falls

Second wicket falls for India and it is the skipper Harmanpreet Kaur who will have to make the long walk back to the pavillion. Ayabonga Khaka is yet again the wicket-taker and South Africa celebrate.

Tight bowling from the South African women to start the match. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur has joined Smriti Mandhana in the middle but they have not been able to break free.

After 2 overs, India 7/1

Shafali Out For Duck!

Just the second ball of the match and Shafali Verma is gone. She has been bowled by Ayabonga Khaka. Brilliant start for South Africa.

Here we go then. Both India and South Africa in their final warm-up fixture ahead of the women's T20 World Cup 2024. India batting first. Shafali Verma takes strike, Smriti Mandhana stands on the non-striker's end. Ayabonga Khaka begins with her medium pace.

India and South Africa did play a T20I series earlier this year. The series had three matches and both teams won one apiece. With one match producing no result, the series was tied at 1-1.

So, South Africa have won the toss and they will be bowling first. We will see Indian batters and the South African team stride out soon.

Mind you, South Africa are being led by Sane Luus while Indian captain is Harmanpreet Kaur.
